Because raccoon can climb over walls, fences and trees, keeping them out of your yard in nearly impossible. Making your yard less attractive is the first step to controlling raccoon. Some of the ways to do this is by getting rid of the two things they are normally after which is food and shelter.

Shelter can be a shed, your attic, wood piles or other places they can get out of the elements. In the spring time this can be especially important because female raccoon will want to find a birthing place. Once raccoon think the area is home, getting rid of raccoons becomes a bigger challenge. Often times after a raccoon has made your property home they will need to be trapped.

Food sources need to be located and appropriate measures taken to eliminate them. Raccoon will be attracted to pet food such as dog food or cat food. This is probably the most common raccoon attractant we find when we come to trap raccoon.

Other foods can be excessive fruit in the yard from your trees. Open garbage cans can also attract raccoon so putting tight fitting lids on the cans is recommended. If you have pet doors you may want to block them off at night to prevent raccoon from entering your home.
